Yeah its a reboot and its not, I assume whatever the conclusion of Flashpoint is that it will cause this "rebirth" and that is how they will keep the universes going without having to just end them and say "we are starting all over"

That's what its starting to sound like. So for a month all comics will be the same price as physical copies, you can only buy them at a discount after 30 days.

So its better for the LCSs, but I doubt its going to bring new consumers in any appreciable number.

I wonder if you can get an online delayed subscription, I am to the point of only really wanting to buy trades but continue reading select titles. At 2 bucks an issue this is more feasible.

Maybe they are going for the hipster look? Wait is Kyle going to have a mask that looks like glasses without the lenses?

My last count was 22. They haven't released the detailed solicits for them, but they did say they were coming:
JSA
Teen Titans
Birds of Prey
Nightwing
Batgirl
Action
Detective

As far as assumptions, I would imagine Batman and Superman would have their own books in addition to Action and Detective. Batwoman's book, as of last report, is still on its way, although I'm not sure if it'll be included with this launch or if it's going to have to be retooled. Birds of Prey won't be written by Gail Simone and I imagine the reason it hasn't been solicited is because they don't want to ruin the surprise (that everyone already knows about) of Barbara Gordon returning as Batgirl. (If she's even part of Birds after this point.) I also read (maybe on this thread?) that Wally West will be headlining a book called Speed Force.

Their big claim at diversity seems to be falling short. If you count Batgirl, that makes only two books starring solo females. Mr. Terrific is the only person of color starring in his own book. Jason Rusch and John Stewart are sharing their titles with Caucasian partners. And honestly as far as simply unique characters, that's FOUR Green Lantern titles alone. I know Powergirl's sales dropped after Palmiotti/Grey/Conner left it. I don't know how Zatanna was doing. I would assume Supergirl will get her own book, though, so that's at least one that I would think that's coming. Hopefully maybe Black Lightning or Steel or maybe even Vixen could get their own series.

Oh and I just realized, this probably means a 5,037th reboot for Legion of Super Heroes.

What about Hawkman? Maybe he will be sent to the future to lead the Legion of Over Rebooted Heroes.

Kyle not only survived the purge, but now leads the Rainbow Lantern Corps.

This is very exciting to me! Green Lantern is one of the few DC books I've picked up now and again (the other being Legion of Superheroes, but I gave up on that after the endless reboots) and Kyle was "my" Green Lantern. I've nothing against Hal Jordan, but I'm glad they are keeping him around.

Yeah, I am on the fence about the Batman stuff.
I've been following Morrison's Batman work since he came on board....
waiting to see what his involvement will be before deciding, but might be in for Snyder's Batman.

Also, Jeff Lemire on Animal Man has my interest.

The September solicitations should be out next Monday, the 13th if I recall correctly.
You should have the whole list then.

Birds of Prey is taking on a bit of a change, however. Now billed as "Gotham City's covert ops team, taking down the villains other heroes can't touch," the Birds will be handled by acclaimed novelist and comics scribe Duane Swierczynski and artist Jesus Saiz.

Catwoman #1 will be written by Judd Winick with art from Guillem March. DC's description of the series reads, "Meet Catwoman. She's addicted to the night. Addicted to shiny objects. Addicted to Batman. Most of all, Catwoman is addicted to danger. She can't help herself, and the truth is – she doesn't want to. She's good at being bad, and very bad at being good."

And Grayson is Nightwing. Jason Todd gets his own book: Red Hood and The Outsiders with Arsenal and Starfire. (It looks like Roy has both his arms. Man, I hope that whole Rise of Arsenal POS is forgotten forever - maybe the worst cominc of the past 5 years).

I'm liking the look of Nightwing. His costume looks like a combo of Grayson Batman, Batman Beyond and Nightwing. As for Birds of Prey, I'm one of those people who only reads Pirds of Prey if Benes is doing the artwork. It does look interesting nonetheless.

Until now.
